I Reinvented Your Voice

I reinvented your voice
and

I simplified your eyes I think 
and the firmness of your chest 
it became a personification of our 
farewell I

simplified your voice to an
unfulfilled reassurance I reduced
your fingers to a gesture
unreturned 

Redefined a couple of terms
claimed myself the right to change 
their conventional sense 
apparently I

Re-evaluated those few words
stubbornly reinventing
ambiguity of love
did you at least enjoy

The streaks of blue which I left 
after every 
entanglement of our thoughts
my adventure-driven touch (?)

In the immature naivety 
of the songs
that played in the background 
of this mismatched game

(I reinvented your voice)
